I've found a "Solution". I Uploaded it to the Google Music Service. After that i get the Artist Covers downloaded.
Even though i didn't uploaded my music to Google just for that sake (i wanted to ease the sync over multiple devices) im still a little bit... lets say sceptical about the reason for Google to have my music just to place the Artist Banner inside an app.
So because my reason for "matching" my local Music with the Google Catalog was a different one then just getting the Banners work im OK with it. But for someone other who just want the Artist Banner on top of the Google Music App i can totaly see why they may get pissed of by it. Oh yeah... you get the Banner also for Music you bought over Google Play.
So just for the record and again sry for my bad spelling^^. Can be closed!

Hoi,
dont really understand our question - why want you to set your device to lockmode but want to see video ?
Maybe there is an App, which plays only the video and lcks the screen - otherwise i see no chance without changing the ROM (if this is enough !)

Maybe you wanna just hear music ?
If so, try to use some specific software to do that, in order to donwload the mp3 from a youtube video and you will be able to read it even with the lock screen.

None of those applications exist on the play store, i want to listen to youtube songs with locked screen, is there any option beside downloading the song?
Edit:
I found Radioyoutube application, works good
Maybe you can try this "Touch Lock - Touch Blocker " application and you can found it on Google Play Store.
My son always love watching YouTube video , but always pausing the video , but I found a application and solve my problem now , so I suggest to you and I hope you will like it.

This simple but very handy app will allow you to create colorful tiles for the music playlists, using the albums art or your own graphics.
The app also supports NFC tags so you may automate some actions (like all tracks playback) in your car. Unfortunately, currently Microsoft has a limitation (damn stupid limitation but it's MS!) - NFC tags can't be processed with locked screen or screen off. Hope, MS will remove this in the WP 8.1 release!
Store link: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=42ac67fa-51b1-409b-b632-a9e405a0838e
Please review and rate the app. Don't leave negative feedbacks - tell me here what's wrong and I'll try to fix it as soon as I can!
App received update (I've fixed some bugs).
P.S. Hey guys, do you have app reviews/requests? Actually, I'm kinda disappointed because of silence here; looks like nobody (except me) uses a playlists to listen music...
it's not your fault, but the music app for wp is awful, thousands of topics all over the web about wp playlist's problems...
if ms decently update music app I'm sure people will start using your app...
have you done some "marketing" on wpcentral?

This app can work for WP7 too - I'm using good old XNA API to work with playlists. And - since WP7 launch - playlists has a lack of pictured tiles, they are always looks the same, very hard to handle...
I don't care about playlist tiles before upgrading to WP8.1: after BT connection to my Nissan Altima, system player starts playing all songs in random order. But MS changed the behavior, now it's silent. What's why I wrote this app.
BTW, people already started using my app - store has no analogues at all.

I've created the app announcement at the "developer spotlight" forum, exactly like here And the app is free (at least for now) so it's not a "pure marketing".

sorry I didn't mean that none is using your app, I think is a useful and good app but only two weeks ago creating/modifing a playlist on wp was a pain in the a** so not many users used playlist,but I repeat is a very good app :good:
What do you mean by "creating a playlist was a pain"? Have you ever tried to create a playlist(s) on PC, via standard Windows explorer? It's an easy as a pie - select folder(s), rightclick, choose "Create playlist", rename it - thats all. I was really surprised how easy it is!..
Currently, MS don't provide any API to access playlists created by new music hub And playlist format (probably) changed; now playlists are stored to internal database, not an external files (like an old way). I don't understand one thing - why we need these "improvements"?
Playlist Tiler got an update. Some bugs are fixed, speed and playlist shuffle improved. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to implement good wide tiles, will try to bring 'em in the next update.
App will remain free; I've only added purchase option for NFC tag writing. However if you wanna support my development, buy this option (just $0.99) like a donation

It's a very simple phone simulator for your little prince or princess I wrote this app a few years ago for my little beauty but hesitated to publish ('cause it's too simple).
But currently there is no other similar app in the store so I decided to share.
Application is free, has no ads at all, and no annoying dialogues for vote/review etc. Children just don't need that crap
So, if you like it - please rate 5 stars and add good review, thanks!

This is awesome!!! As the father of a 5 year old who constantly uses Kid's Room on my Odyssey (90% of used storage is taken up by her games and she has her own Android tablet!!!) it's great to see something like this. My lil one loves taking pics. Any chance of creating a kid's camera app? The one I downloaded from the store didn't much interest her. Now if only Microsoft would add a separate lock screen pin for Kid's Room so she can't keep messing up my start screen!!!

Do you have any good sample of that kind of app (Android, iOS)? Or maybe some ideas/sketch/functionality requirements?

Something like this where photos are stored within the app, not in my picture hub, would be great!!! Maybe have stickers, simple fun filters like cartoonize so they can decorate and customize.

OK, I see... Just to be sure: could you please double check WP store? (I don't want to spend time for duplicates). When I get a time (too busy currently) I'll do some working beta "sketch" and will add you as a beta tester (will send pm).

The only camera app I can find for kids is the Cartoon Camera app I currently have installed which takes all pics using a cartoon filter. No rush and greatly appreciated!!! By the way, Toddler Phone is at the top of New and Rising in the Kids and Family section of the store. Looks like your "simple" little app is a hit. Congrats!!!
Thx for that app! My princess loves it 5 stars...

You are welcome! New version of the app with new nice features (simulated "dialog" with the pitch-shifted echo-voice, like "My talking Tom" app - kids just love it!) will appear very soon, probably this weekend.
I'm sorry but the app update a bit delayed - I'm too busy now

You are right. Finally thanks for the first question! lol
The app was too good indeed, it served more than 500 000 requests per day for a month or so. It was so good that in fact google banned it

Yes, i tried.
Angerfing & Panic Quiz were my last attempts in mobile development. They both didn't get enough downloads because I probably failed with the ideas or with the promotion. However the lack of interest forced me to quit. I literally gave up from everything online back then. I never had to be lucky enough to earn my food with online stuff.

Yeah man devloping apps isnt easy and making a life off it is even harder
Besides the one in a million apps that created a company, ie: uber, lyft...
The thing is they thought of something new that no one had to offer then.
If you want an app to succeed look at what your friends need, ask on social media
Look at what would simplify the lazymans life

so the complete app is now garbage because of a simple icon?
please at least give a few actual arguments and tell them how you'd like the icon to look like..
or make your own.

I'm sorry but where did I state that it was garbage? Seems like you're the one needing to give factual arguments, not me.
As for the icon, I think if a developer wants users to use their app instead of countless other apps that do similar things, they should be original and differentiate not sraight up copy something from other apps. In the case of this app, seems like they worked hard on it and I congratulate them, hopefully they will come up with a nice original icon that better fits their app.
I change this icon in the future. I'm not a graphic designer and so far i'm working on more important things...
I do not steal, I found this icon on google
New update is out. See changelog in app
Update v1.4.1.0:
- Playing music from folders (only sd card)

Will be tomorrow
New version is out! Big update See in store
